Sa séparation, en 1924, d'avec sa maîtresse Lily Brik, lui donne l'occasion de ce voyage. Profondément bouleversé par cette rupture, Maïakovski envisage pour commencer un tour du monde. Contraint par des raisons financières (il se fait voler son argent à Paris où il fait escale pour rejoindre le port de Saint-Nazaire), il se contente d'un séjour sur le continent américain. Après une traversée qui le mène à La Havane, il entre aux États-Unis par le Mexique, en se faisant passer pour peintre - sa position de poète officiel donnant souvent à ses voyages un caractère de propagande, son visa lui est plusieurs fois refusé. New York, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphie, Pittsburgh?: durant son séjour, il donne de nombreuses conférences, lors desquelles il déclame ses poèmes, évoque l'Union soviétique et parle de ses impressions sur les États-Unis. Et ce devant un auditoire nombreux et enthousiaste.

Architects’ Journeys brings together contemporary architects, historians and theorists to consider the role that travel has played in the evolution of architectural practice during the last century. Looking beyond the model of enlightened tourism founded by the legacy of the Grand Tour, the book’s contributors investigate travel as a form of displacement prefiguring the emergence of the figure of the global architect in the late twentieth century.
